For decades, the league — not the teams themselves who pay taxes — which makes an estimated $10 billion in annual revenue has avoided paying Uncle Sam because of a line of code that allowed them to do so. Section 501©(6) of the Internal Revenue Code says that "professional football leagues" are free to be exempt, which was a way that helped allow the NFL and old American Football League, its one-time rival, join forced into the monster it now is, back in 1966.

Boy, when those earning reports come out...there is going to be some hell to pay.  I predict that it will have some repercussions in regards to the CBA as well. 

 

I wonder if Jerry Richardson will be so quick to pull out graphs and pie charts.

From your link:

 

 

 

We also will find out, per this new designation, exactly what Goodell and other key NFL executives make to the penny per year, given that it's now public record. So it might be a positive PR move to give up the status willingly, but we suspect the sympathy only will go so far when it's revealed exactly what these big cats take home in pay.

I look forward to Goodell telling players they are making to much when his and the fatcats in the NFL offices have their salaries plastered all over Deadspin.

Isn't his salary released every year already?

It will be interesting to see what the NFL owners' henchman poster child makes. Somebody will have something to say about it, I guarantee it.

If you are interested then do a search for it. It's known because it's a non profit.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
